20mm Vulcan gun on a UH-1B Huey helicopter, which would lead to the AH-1 Cobra getting this cannon as her main gun.

I wonder if how much the thrust that this gun produces interferes with flying.

[wetshovel-deactivated20170301]

3200 lbf if this is credible and assuming 6000 rounds per minute; aircraft weighs call it 4000 pounds hauling this thing around, assume half the recoil goes to lift and half sideways, I’d call it non-trivial but probably manageable.

ETA - To actually read the caption they had it throttled to 2400 per minute, call it 1280 lbf recoil, same logic, same conclusion.
